    Above The Fold: Localizing stories for the Weston Observer

    The Weston Observer recently ran a story about Monet Eliaston, a local woman who traveled across Antarctica to the South Pole.

So, the question is, how do we make it our story. The team discusses the approach to localizing national and regional stories.
